LEPTURGES. 169 
This and the following species are closely allied to L. deliciolus from the Amazons, 
but differ sufficiently in being more elongate and flatter, as well as in the disposition of 
the dark markings of the elytra. 
13. Lepturges fasciatus. 
L. multinotato proxime affinis, at differt macula angulari magna circa scutellum, fasciaque flexuosa pone 
medium elytrorum nigris. Paullo brevior, et minus depressus, griseo-niger, thorace medio et basi pallido ; 
elytris griseo-fulvis, macula magna triangulari circumscutellari, fascia flexuosa pone medium lineolisque 
plurimis ante medium et prope apicem fusco-nigris, apice obtusissime oblique truncatis; ceteris ut in 
L. multinotato. 
~ Long. 14-2 lin. 
Hab. Guatemata, San Gerdnimo (Champion). 
14. Lepturges laticollis. 
Parvus, breviusculus, subconvexus, thorace lato et brevi, antice paullo angustato, spina laterali valida paullo 
hamata; niger, griseo-sericeus; antennis pedibusque testaceis, illarum articulorum, necnon femorum 
tibiarumque apicibus fuscis ; elytris (apice fere rotundatis) fulvo-griseis, macula triangulari circumscutellari, 
fascia pone medium lateribus dilatata, et macula utrinque triangulari juxta apicem (suturam haud attin- 
gente) nigris. 
Long. 14 lin. 
Hab. GuaTEMALA, near the city (Salvin), Zapote, Cerro Zunil (Champion). 
Much shorter and more convex than L. fasciatus, and having a shorter and broader 
thorax, the sides of which are slightly tumid at the base of the lateral spine. The hind 
femora, as in the two preceding species, are considerably thickened. ‘There are no traces 
of lineoles in the apical pale area of the elytra, their place being supplied by a central 
black or brown triangular spot nearly or quite reaching the apical margin, but leaving a 
free pale sutural border. In the pale space between the scutellar patch and the median 
belt there are faint traces of dark lineoles in one of the examples. 
15. Lepturges tumidicollis. 
L. laticolli affinis, sed latius ovatus et aliter coloratus. Fulvescens, capite, thorace disco, elytris maculis indi- 
stinctis, quarum una subbasali versus humerum, secunda postice tridentata pone disci medium tertiaque 
elongata apicali magis conspicuis, atro-fuscis, fasciaque obliqua mediana plus minusve distincta pallidiore ; 
capite lato, fronte brevi, infra angustata; thorace valde transverso, lateribus antice rotundatis ante spinam 
angulatim dilatatis, sulco postico-marginali profunde punctato; elytris parum convexis, grosse crebre 
punctatis, apice subacute rotundatis; pedibus pallidis, femoribus sat clavatis, clavis (iis femorum posticorum 
exceptis), tibiis tarsisque apice infuscatis; antennis pallidis, articulis apice fuscis, tertio quam scapus 
paullo longiore. 
Long. 12-2 lin. 
Hab. Guatemata, Zapote, Cerro Zunil, Chiacam, San Juan (Champion); Nicaracua, 
Chontales (Janson). 
The dusky markings on the tawny-ochreous elytra vary a little in number and shape ; 
but the base from shoulder to shoulder is always spotless, and there is no indication of 
the triangular circumscutellar patch which distinguishes the two preceding species.
